JOHNNY CASH – 17537

SUPER URGENT 02/14/18 ***A private donor has graciously offered $500 to the New Hope Partner that pulls Johnny Cash*** A volunteer writes: We have our very own ‘Man in Black’ at the Manhattan Care Center. While he’s not much for singing, this handsome hunk speaks volumes with his soulful eyes and affectionate ways. Johnny’s a true people dog and (quite literally) not one to take kennel life lying down, so you’ll usually find him right up front and ready to go. I’ve even caught him smooshed against the door, luxuriating in a side massage from a passing admirer! Easily leashed and ready to follow wherever it is you’re heading, Johnny walks the line like a gentleman, taking his time sniffing all around and greeting other pups of every size with friendly good manners, even the not-so-friendly little ones! He enjoys treats and mouths them gently from my hand, plays nicely with toys and excels at exploring and snuggling–talents that he clearly mastered long ago. Johnny’s Care Center fan club is growing by the day, and he rocked his behavior assessment, too, but what this wandering soul truly longs for is a family to love and a place to call his own. Open your heart today, Johnny Cash is ready to come home.

Johnny Cash

***A private donor has graciously offered $500 to the New Hope Partner that pulls Johnny Cash***

Hello, my name is Johnny Cash. My animal id is #17537. I am a male black dog at the Manhattan Animal Care Center. The shelter thinks I am about 4 years 1 weeks old.

I came into the shelter as a stray on 02-Jan-2018.

Johnny Cash is at risk due to being diagnosed with Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex, which is contagious to other dogs. He also has a heart murmur and came to the care center with ear infections. There are no behavior concerns for hism at this time, average determination.

Let’s get to know each other a bit more…

A Foster Writes: Johnny is one of the sweetest dogs we’ve ever met! He’s really loyal, but also kind to strangers and always happy to meet new people. We found that he loves following us around the house, and always wants to be with you, but given a good chew toy or bone he can occupy himself for hours. He doesn’t seem to mind being home alone for longer periods, and he always greets us when we come home with excitement and affection. Though he never barked when we were with him (even on walks outside) or when he’s with other people, we found that in the first couple of days before he was acclimated he barked during the day, or occasionally howled when he thought nobody was coming back. After the first week my neighbors informed me that he had stopped making noise throughout the day and was being a good boy! Johnny knows ‘stay’, ‘no’, and in the small time that we fostered him he even learned how to ‘sit’; he seems to be a really intelligent boy! He’s really calm and well behaved in public, and would even sit down inside coffee shops when we were at the counter ordering. He had only one pee and one poo accident in the apt in the first handful of days, but we think that was due to the anxiety of a new place and moving environments. We would give him food in the morning, but he seemed to self-regulate his eating so that he would only eat when he knew he could go to the bathroom soon after. Often times we’d come home at the end of the day and he hadn’t eaten much of his food, but then would immediately eat all of it and want to go for a walk. He loves physical play, and often times we’d tackle and roll around on the floor with him, but he never became mean or aggressive, and certainly never hurt us in any way. He’s a very curious boy, and is distracted, almost hypnotized, when on the street for a walk. He does love a good run around the park, and can seemingly run forever. He loves smelling almost everything outside which, although is very cute, we found we needed to watch closely. On a couple occasions he found something on the street and snatched it up in his mouth, but we quickly became comfortable and trusting enough with Johnny that we would open his mouth and he would let us take it out with our fingers. Johnny is pretty much the perfect dog in every way. At least twice every walk a stranger would comment on how beautiful he is (he’s really a knockout), and he definitely doesn’t mind the attention. He’s a lovely energy to have in the home, and we don’t doubt that he will make someone the happiest parent one day.

Summary:: Johnny Cash approached the assessor in the assessment room quickly and with a soft body. He was a bit distracted at times, sniffing around the room, but was social at other times. He allowed all handling and displayed no concerning behaviors.

Summary:: The behavior department feels that Johnny Cash may be most compatible with female dogs who are playful and tolerant. Behavior history around other dogs is not available due to arriving as a stray. He has been observed to attempt to mount when introduced to female dogs in the care center, though has displayed the potential to engage in play when offered. He has not yet been introduced to other male dogs while in our care.

Summary (1):: 1/3: When introduced off leash to a male dog, Johnny Cash begins to mount almost immediately and is very difficult to distract.

Summary (2):: 1/11-13: Johnny Cash is introduced to a playful female helper dog. He mimics playful behavior when it offered, and attempts to mount if play slows down.

Date of intake:: 1/2/2018

Summary:: Johnny Cash was social and allowed handling.

Date of initial:: 1/3/2018

Summary:: Johnny Cash was tense.

ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Johnny Cash so we cannot be certain of his behavior in a home environment. However, he is a young, enthusiastic, social dog who will need daily mental and physical activity to keep him engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct his energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: AVERAGE (suitable for an adopter with an average amount of dog experience)

I do not know anything any more, Joan! I want to save them all! But some are being put down for one reason or another, or for no reason at all. I was thinking about him being the 4th time on TBD: I have never noticed any dog being there more than 3 times. He has the record! What does it mean? Why there is no rescue for him? Why there was no rescue for Roscoe, who looked like a boxer mix, was medium size, had good rating and green behavior? Why there was no rescue for Arlington, and others? Why they are born into this world, where there is only misery and sufferings for them? I hope I am wrong with my assumptions. I wish a rescue group would pull him out and take a chance with neutering. I am willing to sponsor this too.

Irina. Believe me I feel the SAME and cry for them as you do. I often think of Arlington..Roscoe..Ralph..Kingston.
Kingsley…Oscar..on and on and on. It all is beyond human comprehension.
Your comments about this world and their suffering is how I too feel every day.
.WHAT CAN WE ALL DO???? How can we all UNITE to STOP this in human behavior???? Yes..I thought JOHNNY has been on this vile list FOUR times
The only reason I see is that they are just INTENT on murdering him. Maybe some SAVIOR will appear…I am truly praying. Finally…I must reiterate my THANKS to you for ALL you do for these innocents. Always..only the BEST for you..

Irina..I had to reach out to you…AMSTERDOG saved BOOMER.
Opie and Charlie..again..NOTHING for our JOHNNY..why? Why?? Why??? I am beyond sick and crying.. Your analysis appears to be RIGHT!!! We are all wait ing for final word…PRAYING so HARD!!!!

Dog Mom…I do not know what to do..just do NOT understand no interest in this beauty. Did you get a chance to read Irina’s analysis..ad to possinly WHY? I reached out to Carla at AMSTERDOG and asked her why??? She said AMSTERDOG has saved 13 doggies since January 13th. That’s UNBELIEVABLE. She also ASKED..where are the other RESCUES?????? I ask the same thing. Wait ing for news on JOHNNY and STORM..do not feel good about BOTH of them..PRAYING HARD!!!!

Cristy: he is still not out of the woods! Please read Christine’s question in FB comments and my answer to her. He can come back at any time and everything will start over and over again. ACC foster is a temporary solution. There were dogs who came back to the shelter. But at least, he is safe for now and I am very grateful to the person who is a foster!

Cristy, Janet, Joan, Everyone: we are happy for the ones which are safe but new ones go no the list: there is no end for this and there is no way to stop it: too many dogs: more than homes. I do not think that anybody has any solution – sadly! I wrote to Best Friends about this, but got no reply. There was a petition, mentioned by one of us. I signed it, of course. But for some reason, the petition mentioned specifically Manhattan shelter, but dogs are euthanized from every ACC shelter. Dog Mom is right: fosters and adopters are the way to save them, but where to get fosters/adopters for each and every one?

Irina..just saw your comment when I just now saw that our Johnny boy is back. SICKENING.SICKENING. I feel it is so FUTILE sometimes..especially when our beauties are murdered ..RETURNED or back on the SU list to be delisted for tbd. I tried to unite us someway but was THWARTED in my quest by different means slated against me. I am still trying to make a GO FUND ME page for the NY NEWSPAPER ad campaign. I am trying to write an introductory statement that would compel people to donate to the cause. Any monies we do receive..which may not be enough for the ADS would then be used to fund rescuing our beauties. I do not know what else to do..EXCEPT,a media investigative report on the acc. Trouble is I do not know anyone at these tv and radio outlets..I did call CBS and ABC..to no avail….hope you are doing well. Best j

HOW OUR BOY MUST F.E.E.L.BEING BACK..THE AGAIN AND BETRAYAL AND ABANDONMENT. I RECENTLY SAW A DOGGIE ACTUALLY CRYING ON FB..CRYING..WITH TEARS..THAT US WHAT OUR JOHNNY MUST BE DOING..SOMEONE OUT THERE..SAVE THEM…SAVE THEM A.L.L!!!!

INCREASE MY PLEDGE TO $50
.STILL CANNOT BELIEVE HE IS STILL HERE
SAME WITH BISCOTTI AND BANDINO..HOW THEY MUST FEEL BEING IN THIS VILE PLACE…KNOWING THEIR FATE IS ON THE HAND OF MONSTERS
SAVE OUT JOHNNY C. WHO WAS BROUGHT BACK FROM AC FOSTER. UNBELIEVABLE..SABE ALL OF THESE GORGOTTEN BEAUTIES..BUT…NOT FPRGPTTEN BY M.E…OR THEIR OTHER FRIENDS…WE LOVE YOU ALL.
..

Thank you Dog Mom for posting the foster’s comments about Johnny Cash. And to the Foster, thank you for showing him love and kindness….I just wish you could have kept him longer until he found a permanent home.

Back to ACC from foster home: I knew that. That was why I was not thrilled at all that he went to ACC foster home. I remember that dogs were put down after they came back from ACC foster homes. How horrible it is!!!

What is going on with this awesome dog?!? Johnny Cash is the total package!!! He must be saved! Let’s really rally and do everything we can to get this awesome boy his forever home!!! Still praying and sharing with lots of love and hope. #SaveJohnnyCash 💜🤞
